FRANKLIN, Mass., Aug. 15, 2025 ~ Barrett Distribution Centers, a leading logistics and supply chain management company, has recently announced a new partnership with FCTRY LAb, a trend-setting footwear brand based in Los Angeles. This partnership will see Barrett providing warehousing, fulfillment, and transportation services to support FCTRY LAb's direct-to-consumer (D2C) operations through their website fctrylab.com.

The successful go-live of FCTRY LAb's operations at Barrett's facility in Montebello, CA was celebrated by the team at Barrett. Co-founded by industry veterans Omar Bailey and Abhi Som, FCTRY LAb is known for its bold designs, rapid innovation, and performance-driven engineering in the footwear industry. Their game-changing releases such as the Duckboot - a collaboration with rapper NLE Choppa - and the Stomper - worn by WWE star Seth Rollins - have pushed the boundaries of modern design.

According to Ravi Bhaskaran, chief operating officer at FCTRY LAb, Barrett was the perfect fit for their needs. "Barrett checked every box for us - from their close proximity to our headquarters and extensive experience in footwear to their ability to handle fast-paced scaling needs and high order volumes," he said. With their current facility lease ending, FCTRY LAb turned to Barrett for a quick and flexible solution, which they delivered successfully.
